Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an excrement disposal device for treating excrement discharged from a wearer (patient).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to treat excrement discharged from a wearer, that is, stool or urine, an excrement receiving cup attached to the wearer by using a holder is often used. Usually, the excrement receiving cup has a stool receiving cup that receives stool and a urine receiving cup that receives urine, and the excrement discharged into the receiving cup is discharged to the outside of the receiving cup by suction. To be done. The holder is of a diaper type (pants type) that entirely covers the wearer's waist and thighs (see, for example, Japanese Patent No. 3020005, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-104820, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-322868). ). In addition, it is also practiced to supply a cleaning liquid into the receiving cup so that not only the receiving cup but also the wearer's anus and genital area can be cleaned.

[0003]

By the way, since the receiving cup for receiving excrement is generally worn on the wearer continuously for a long time (long term), when the receiving cup is worn. It is important to reduce the feeling of pressure on the wearer.

When the factors that give the wearer a feeling of pressure are analyzed from various points of view, the following has been found. First
Additionally, there is pressure due to the waste receiving cup not fitting well to the wearer. That is, the receiving cup will have a fairly large waste receptacle surrounding the anus and pubic area. On the other hand, the physiques of the wearers are considerably different from each other, and even if the same receiving cup is used, there is a great difference in fit between a fat person and a thin person. That is,
In order to prevent the leakage of excrement from the receiving cup, it is desirable to keep the receiving opening of the receiving cup in close contact with the wearer over the entire circumference of the receiving cup. In many cases, good adhesion cannot be obtained by pressing with. Therefore, the receiving cup is currently pressed against the wearer with a considerably large force.

Second, there is pressure by the holder itself for holding the receiving cup in a predetermined wearing state on the wearer. In particular, since the conventional holder is of the diaper type as described above, the holder covers the torso and hips of the wearer almost entirely. As described above, when the body area covered by the holder is increased, it not only gives a feeling of pressure, but also causes discomfort or a rash.

[0006] Third, there is compression caused by the receiving cup being constantly pressed against the wearer. That is, it is essential when excrement is present in the receiving cup that the receiving cup needs to be strongly pressed against the wearer. However, even if there is no excrement in the receiving cup, the present situation is that the receiving cup is strongly pressed against the wearer in preparation for excretion.

Fourth, there is pressure caused by the twist of the receiving cup and various hoses connected to the receiving cup. That is, the receiving cup is connected with a discharge hose for discharging excrement, a cleaning liquid supply hose for supplying a cleaning liquid into the receiving cup, and these hoses have a considerable rigidity. Is. When the posture of the wearer is changed by rolling over, etc., a twisting force acts between the hose and the receiving cup, and this twisting force is eventually given to the wearer via the receiving cup. become.

Fifth, there is pressure from outside (downward) due to the posture of the wearer. For example, when the wearer wearing the receiving cup is seated in a chair, a part of the receiving cup is likely to interfere with the seating surface of the chair. In this case, an external force (a reaction force of the weight of the wearer) acts on the wearer from the seating surface of the chair through the receiving cup, and the wearer receives a pressing force. In order to reduce such a pressing force, it is conceivable to lay a seating mat on the seating surface of the chair, but the reaction force from the seating mat cannot be sufficiently reduced. The same thing happens at bedtime. That is, when the wearer sleeps in a supine position, a part of the receiving cup interferes with the bed and receives a pressing force. Of course,
Even if a sleeping mat is used, the compression force cannot be sufficiently reduced.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an excrement disposal device capable of reducing a feeling of pressure on a wearer.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has the following first solution. That is, as described in claim 1 in the scope of claims, it has a stool receiving opening and a stool receiving cup used in a state where the stool receiving opening is pressed against the periphery of the anus and a urine receiving opening. And a urine receiving cup used in a state where the urine receiving port is pressed against the periphery of the genital area, and a stool discharging device for discharging the stool discharged in the stool receiving cup to the outside,

The cup is connected to the pair of left and right upper suspension members so that the vertical position can be changed.

According to the third solution, the body area of the wearer covered by the holder is much smaller than that of the diaper-type holder, and the feeling of pressure is greatly reduced. Further, it is also preferable in preventing unevenness and rash. Furthermore, since it does not give the feeling of wearing a diaper, it is preferable in terms of not giving the wearer a psychological resistance (especially shyness) to wearing the holder. Also, make sure that the toilet bowl is suitable for the anus of the wearer and the urine receiving cup is suitable for the genital area of the wearer, without giving pressure to the wearer's right and left thighs. It can be set to any position.

On the premise of the third solution method, the following method can be adopted together (corresponding to claim 16 in the claims). That is, a plurality of locking portions are formed on the pair of left and right hanging members at intervals in the length direction thereof, and any one of the plurality of locking portions is provided on the urine receiving cup. It is possible to form an engaging portion that is locked to the

If there is an abnormality in step T3, the process proceeds to step T16 to issue an error display and alarm, and if there is no abnormality (each signal is off), the process proceeds to step T4. In step T4, it is determined whether the operation is automatic.

In the case of automatic driving, it is determined in step T5 whether the flight sensor S1 is turned on. Stool sensor S1
When is turned on, the process proceeds to steps T7 to T10, the hot water pump P1 and the feces suction pump P2 are started, and the motor M is rotated forward and backward for about 20 seconds. As a result, hot water is ejected from the first nozzle 15, and the first nozzle 15 is swung at an angle of about 90 degrees to the left and right with respect to the vertical line. As a result, the feces 5c accumulated on the bottom of the feces receiving cup 10 are crushed. Further, the crushed feces 5c are sucked and discharged through the defecation pipe 23, the defecation passages 20b and 21b, and the defecation hose 47, and are stored in the feces tank 46.

When the forward / reverse rotation time of the motor M has passed for 20 seconds, the motor M is rotated in one direction for about 10 seconds in steps T11 and T12. As a result, the first nozzle 15 spouts cleaning water through the discharge pipe 16 while rotating about the front-back line, and cleans the entire inner surface of the feces receiving cup 10 and the anus 5a of the patient 5. . Next, the process proceeds to steps T13 to T15, and after the hot water pump 13, the motor M, and the feces suction pump P2 are stopped, the process jumps to step T2.

When the stool sensor S1 is turned off in step T5, the urine sensor S2 is turned on in step T6.

The rear end portions of the urine drainage hose 27-2 are gathered together and connected to the urine drainage passage 20c of the feces receiving cup 10. By forming the urinary outlets 38, 38 on both the left and right sides, even if the patient 5 urinates in the sideways state, this urine is discharged from one of the urinary outlets 38 to the urinary tract 20c. In the present invention, the urine receiving cups 25 and 25-2 described above may be omitted.

FIG. 17 shows a sealing device for the receiving opening 12a of the toilet cup 10 described above. In FIG. 17, 10 is a toilet cup similar to that described above, and 80 is a sealing device for the same. The sealing device 80 is as follows. First, the ring-shaped suction cup sealing material 81 is attached to the receiving opening 12a of the toilet receiving cup 10. The sucker sealing material 8
Reference numeral 1 is made of elastic soft material such as rubber or synthetic resin. On the front surface of the sealing material 81, for example, a ring groove 81a having a V-shaped cross section is formed. The groove 81a is connected to a negative pressure tank 84 via a suction hose 82 and a solenoid valve 83 that opens and closes the suction hose 82. The negative pressure tank 84 has a negative pressure pump 8 driven by a DC motor.

By forming the ring groove 81a, the sealing material 81 has an inner lip portion (tongue piece portion) located on the radially inner side and an outer lip portion located on the radially outer side. . Each of the lip portions has sufficient flexibility to improve the adhesion to the wearer (improving the sealing property).

The seal control section 87 is as follows. First, during a normal time when the stool sensor S1 is not operating, the negative pressure pump 85 is operated based on the value of the pressure sensor 86, and the pressure in the negative pressure tank 84 is, for example, about −.
The pressure is set to 39.9 kpa (-300 mmHg, first negative pressure value). When the valve sensor S1 is turned on in this state, the solenoid valve 83 is opened to apply the negative pressure in the negative pressure tank 84 to the ring groove 81a.
As a result, the suction cup sealing material 81 is adsorbed to the patient 5.
Immediately after the solenoid valve 83 is opened (about 2 seconds later), the pressure in the negative pressure tank 84 is, for example, about -19.9 kpa.
The negative pressure pump 85 is drive-controlled based on the value of the pressure sensor 86 so that the second negative pressure value is smaller than the first negative pressure value at −150 mmHg. This allows
While reducing the suction force of the suction cup sealing material 81 to reduce the burden (compression) of the patient 5, the sealing function of the toilet cup 10 is maintained.

In this state, when the valve sensor S1 is turned off, the solenoid valve 83 is closed and the suction force of the suction cup sealing material 81 is released. Next, the pressure in the negative pressure tank 84 is the initial pressure, that is, for example, about -39.9.
The negative pressure pump 85 is drive-controlled based on the value of the pressure sensor 86 so that it becomes kpa (-300 mmHg). Further, while the valve sensor S1 is off, the solenoid valve 83 is operated every predetermined time (for example, every 5 minutes).
The opening operation is performed for a short time (for example, about 2 seconds). The detection value of the pressure sensor 86 at this time is, for example, about -13.3 kp.
a (at -100 mmHg, third value smaller than second negative pressure value)
If the negative pressure is less than the negative pressure value)), the toilet cup 1
When it is determined that the mounting failure is 0, an abnormal signal is sent to the control unit on the main body side. The sealing device 80 similar to that described above may be provided on the urine receiving cup side. In this case, a urine sensor that detects urine discharged to the urine receiving cup is used instead of the stool sensor S1 described above.

In FIG. 35, the stool crushing device 170, the net 172, and the first nozzle 174 have substantially the same structure as the fifth example described above. A net drive device 242 uses kinetic energy of fluid as a power source. That is, a large number of blades 253 are attached to the outer peripheral portion of the net 172 on the open end side at a predetermined pitch. Discharge pipe 2 branched from the first introduction pipe 177
The discharge port 54 is directed to the blade 253. As a result, part of the water pumped to the first introduction pipe 177 is
It is ejected from the discharge pipe 254 toward the blade 253, and the net 172 is rotated about the axis C. According to the sixth and seventh examples, the net 172 is rotated or swung using the discharge force of the cleaning water supplied into the toilet cup 160, so that the electric motor is omitted. It is possible to improve safety.

Supplementary Explanation 1 (FIGS. 36 and 37)

36 and 37 show another example of the stool crushing device. The stool crushing device in this example can be used in an additional form when the stool crushing device already has a separate stool crushing device (there are two types of stool crushing device). It is also applicable to the case where the stool crushing device is not separately provided.
Only types). However, FIG. 36 exemplarily shows a case where it is applied to the toilet cup 10 shown in FIG. 4.

The stool crushing device 310 in this example is basically provided in the stool discharge path 312 (corresponding to the stool hose 47 in FIG. 4) extending from the stool receiving cup 10. That is, the stool crushing device 310 in this example is configured so that the stool discharge route 31
Thin cutting lines 310a, 3 provided so as to cross 2
It consists of 10b. In the embodiment, this thin cutting line 310 is used.
Two a and 310b are provided, and one cutting line 310a
Are arranged so as to extend in the diametrical direction of the stool discharge path 312 and in a substantially horizontal direction, and are arranged so as to vertically divide the inside of the stool discharge path 312 into two parts. The other cutting line 310b
Is disposed so as to extend in the diametrical direction of the stool discharge path 312 and in a substantially vertical direction.
It is arranged so as to be divided. In addition, each cutting line 310
Although a and 310b are arranged close to each other in the flow path direction of the feces discharge path 312, they may be integrated at the intersection in advance. Such cutting lines 310a, 3
Due to 10b, the inside of the feces discharge path 312 is divided into four places in the cross section viewed from the flow path direction.

The cutting lines 310a and 310b can be made of, for example, a metal wire such as a piano wire or a synthetic resin wire, but a high tensile strength wire is preferable. Cutting line 310a, 310
It is preferable that the thickness (diameter) of b is as thin as possible within the range so as not to be cut inadvertently. Specifically, the thickness of the cutting lines 310a and 310b can be set to about 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm when using a piano wire, for example.

Cutting lines 310a, 310b as described above
In the embodiment, is disposed outside the toilet cup 10 and near the toilet cup 10. Of course, cutting line 3
10a and 310b can also be provided in the toilet cup 10.

When the stool in the stool receiving cup 10 is discharged to the outside by suction, the stool is discharged together with the cleaning liquid in the stool discharge path 31.
Flowing through 2 vigorously. At this time, the flights that flow vigorously are
The cutting line 31a is brought into contact with the cutting lines 310a and 310b.
It will be cut when passing through 0a and 310b (cutting into four parts). By flowing the cleaning liquid at the same time,
The resistance of the stool flowing in the stool discharge path 312 also decreases, and the stool is smoothly cut by the cutting lines 310a and 310b. Note that the cleaning liquid may be prevented from flowing when the feces are discharged.

The cutting lines 310a and 310b described above are used.
36 may be, for example, only one, or two or more in the vertical direction in FIG. 36, or two or more in the horizontal direction in FIG. 36. Furthermore, the cutting line 31
0a, 310b may be configured as a tubular hose joint member so that the joint member is interposed in the middle of the hose forming the feces discharge path 312 (in this case, a toilet bowl without a feces crushing device). Even when using a cup, with a retrofit, a stool crusher or cutting line 310a,
310b can be equipped). Further, the stool cutting member in the stool crusher 310 includes cutting lines 310a, 310
It is also possible to use a thin cutter type instead of the linear type as in b. That is, it is possible to dispose the cutter so that the plate surface of the cutter is entirely along the flow direction of the stool discharge path and the blade of the cutter faces the upstream side of the stool discharge path 312.

Supplementary Explanation 2 (FIGS. 38 to 42)

38 to 42 show a preferred arrangement example of the urine drainage hose and the rotary joint when the toilet cup and the urine cup are separably formed as separate bodies. First, as the toilet cup 10 and the urine cup 25, for example, those shown in FIG. 4 are used. In this example, the rotary joint member 3
20 is outside the toilet cup 10 and the toilet cup 1
It is provided near 0. This rotating joint member 320
4 has a function similar to that of the joint member 21 and the like in FIG. 4, but is different from the case of FIG. 4 in that it is configured outside the toilet cup 10. That is,
The rotary joint member 320 includes a first member 321, a second member 322 rotatably connected to the first member 321, and a connector 3 for connecting various hoses to the second member 322.
23 and. Such a rotary joint member 320 is connected in the middle of the feces discharge hose 47 and the feces receiving cup cleaning liquid supply hose 42 in the vicinity of the feces receiving cup 10. As a result, the rotary joint member 320 can be externally attached to the toilet cup 10, and the twist of the hoses 47 and 42 does not act on the wearer.

The urine discharge hose 330 (corresponding to the urine discharge hose 27 in FIG. 4) extending from the urine receiving cup 25 is connected to the urine tank via the rotary joint member 320. In the urine discharge hose 330, the distance between the urine receiving cup 25 and the rotary joint member 320 is sufficiently long. That is, the urine discharge hose 330 extends rearward from the urine receiving cup 25 in a substantially horizontal direction, and then is curved upwardly at one end,
It is curved forward and then downward, and is finally connected to the rotary joint member 320. The loop portion 330a of the urine discharge hose 330, which is formed by the curved portion, is curved at about 270 degrees. With the configuration of the loop portion 330a, the loop portion 33
Urine discharge hose 330 between 0a and urine receiving cup 25
Urine easily collects inside (the looping action of the loop portion 330a), and the urine sensor S
Two are provided.

Due to the formation of the loop portion 330a, the urine discharge hose 330 has a portion which intersects at an angle of approximately 90 degrees in the middle thereof. A holding clip 340 is arranged at this intersection. This holding clip 34
0 has two hose holders 340a and 340b. The holding portions 340a and 340b are shown in FIGS.
As shown in 0, they are in the form of holes and are substantially orthogonal to each other. A urine discharge hose 330 is slidably penetrated through each of the holding portions 340a and 340b. Such a holding clip 340 can be formed of, for example, a synthetic resin.

By changing the position of the portion of the urine discharge hose 330 into which the holding clip 340 is inserted,
The relative position of the urine receiving cup 25 with respect to the toilet receiving cup 10 is adjusted. That is, the position of the urine receiving cup 25 in the front-rear direction is adjusted by changing the position of the portion of the urine discharge hose 330 that extends in the substantially horizontal direction with respect to the holding clip 340. Further, the vertical position of the urine receiving cup 25 is adjusted by changing the position of the urine discharge hose 330 that extends substantially vertically with respect to the holding clip 340.

41 and 42 show a modified example of the holding clip 340 shown in FIGS. 38 to 49, which is made of synthetic resin in the embodiment. The holding clip 345 of this example (corresponding to the holding clip 340) is a holding portion 345a for holding the urine discharge hose 330 slidably,
The 345b has a shape that is partially opened in the circumferential direction by a slit that extends over the entire length in the longitudinal direction. When the urine discharge hose 330 is inserted into the holding portions 345a and 345b, it is performed by elastically deforming the holding portions 345a and 345b so that the slits thereof are wide open.
Such a holding clip 345 is used for the urine drainage hose 33.
Even when 0 is already connected to the urine receiving cup 25 and the rotary joint member 320, it can be retrofitted to the urine discharge hose 330.

Supplementary explanation (FIGS. 43 and 44)

43 and 44 show a configuration for collecting urine in the example of FIG. 4, for example. In this example, a urine discharge path 52 that connects the urine receiving cup 25 and the urine tank 51
For this, an electromagnetic switching valve 360 is connected. This switching valve 360 is provided with the closed urine collector 3 via the path 362.
It is connected to the upper part of 61. Further, the suction port of the urine suction pump P3 is connected to the upper portion of the urine collector 361 via a path 363 that bypasses the urine tank 51. Switching valve 360
Attaches the urine receiving cup 25 to the urine tank 51 and the urine collector 361.
It selectively switches between and.

U3 is a controller for controlling urine collection, which is constructed by using, for example, a microcomputer. In addition to the urine detection signal from the urine sensor S2, an operation signal from the switch SW10 for manually inputting the time to start urine collection is input to the controller U3. The controller U3 controls the switching valve 360. The control by the controller U3 normally controls the switching position of the switching valve 361 to a position where the urine receiving cup 25 is connected to the urine tank 51. In addition, the controller U3 sets the switching position of the switching valve 361 to the position where the urine receiving cup 25 is connected to the urine collector 361 only when the predetermined urine collection timing is reached.

The timing for collecting urine in the urine collector 361 can be set as follows, for example. That is, first, the urine collection time (for example, 5:00 am) is set by manual setting. When the first urine among the urine discharged within a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour) from the urine collection time is detected, the urine collection timing is set.

The control contents of the controller U3 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, in step T31, it is determined whether or not a predetermined manually set time (for example, 5:00 am) has come. When the determination in step T31 is YES, in step T32, it is determined whether or not urine is detected by the urine sensor S2. YE by the judgment of T32.
If S, then in step T33, in step T32
It is determined whether or not the urine detection time is within a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour) from the set time of step T31. When the determination in step T33 is YES, in step T34, the switching valve 360 is set to the switching position for connecting the urine receiving cup 25 to the urine collecting device 361, and the urine in the urine receiving cup 25 is supplied to the urine collecting device 361. (Pump P3
Operates in response to urine detection). After step T34, T31
When the determination is NO, the determination of T32 is NO, or the determination of T33 is NO, the lean valve is leaned. At this time, the switching valve 361 connects the toilet cup 25 to the urine tank 51. It is set to the switching position. The cleaning liquid is supplied to the urine receiving cup 25 after the collection of urine in the urine collector 361 is completed.

The opening portion 34b formed in the cushion (seat mat) laid on the bottom of the wearer is a hole type opened on the upper surface and the lower surface of the cushion 34a, and also on the front surface of the side surface of the cushion 34a. It also has the form of an open notch. The cushion 34a is compressed when the wearer sits down, and in this compressed state, the opening 34b has a depth of about 5 cm or more (a depth at which the toilet cup 10 does not interfere). The opening 34
The b may open in the upper surface of the cushion 34a but not in the lower surface.

FIG. 46 shows a bed mat 400 on which the wearer lies on his back. The mat 400 is used by placing it on a bed or directly placing it on the floor. In other words, the size of the mat 400 is, for example, about 2 m in length, its width is, for example, about 80 cm, and its thickness is 15 cm, similar to a normal bed mat.
It is about 20 cm.

On the upper surface of the mat 400, an opening 400a is formed at a position corresponding to the anus when the wearer lies on his back. This opening 40
0a corresponds to the opening 34b of the cushion 34a shown in FIG. That is, the wearer wearing the toilet cup 10 lays on his / her back in a posture such that the toilet cup 10 is located in the opening 400a. In the embodiment, the opening 400a has the mat 4
No. 00 has an opening on the upper surface and the lower surface.
However, the opening 400a may be extended to the vicinity of one end 400b of the mat 400, which is on the foot side of the wearer of the mat 400, or may be a cutout type opening to the one end 400b as in the case of FIG. You can also Of course, the opening 400a may be opened only on the upper surface of the mat 400 and not on the lower surface. The wearer lying on his / her back on the mat 400 does not receive a large pressure from the toilet cup 10 because the lower part of the toilet cup 10 is stored in the opening 400a.

The embodiment has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims. The present invention also includes the following cases, for example.

The stool crushing device may be crushed by, for example, a fluid (particularly air) ejected from a nozzle.
In the stool crushing device, the crushing part that acts on stool may be of a contact type (for example, in the case of the screw 104 shown in FIG. 23) or non-contact type (for example, in FIG. Nozzle 15 for injecting the cleaning liquid shown
In the case of), or both of the contact type and the non-contact type may be provided. The crushing unit may be mechanically displaced (driven) or may be fixed (immovable). When the crushing unit is made movable, the interior of the toilet cup is divided into a toilet room and an auxiliary machine chamber by a partition wall, and a drive source for driving the movable crushing unit is provided in the auxiliary machine room. Is preferred. That is, by separately forming an auxiliary equipment room, the area contaminated by stools can be made as small as possible, and the auxiliary equipment room (various devices installed therein) can be prevented from being contaminated by stools. It will be preferable from the above. Of course, as described in the embodiment, the pulverization referred to in the present invention is not limited to stirring, vibrating, cutting, and the like, as long as it can reduce feces regardless of the method.

When the feces are to be discharged from the feces receiving cup (the same applies to the discharge of urine), it is possible to perform the feeding by pressure instead of suction. When the stool crushing device is set outside the stool receiving cup, it is preferable to provide it as close to the stool receiving cup as possible. When the stool is discharged by suction, it is preferable that the stool discharge path opened in the stool receiving cup is opened in the stool receiving cup in an upward state in order to enhance the stool suction effect (for example, FIG. 27).
etc). Cutting lines 310a and 310b shown in FIGS. 36 and 37
27 can be used instead of the net member 171 shown in FIG. 27 (for example, horizontal lines and vertical lines for forming a plurality of eyes of the net member 171 are like cutting lines 310a and 310b). The same meaning as setting).

The liquid for stool crushing and the cleaning liquid may be separately supplied separately into the stool receiving cup. The toilet cup may also serve as the urine cup. In other words, as a large cup that can surround both the anus and the genital area, the space in the single large cup can be used as both the space for receiving feces and the space for receiving urine. Also, when the toilet cup and the urine cup are combined into a single large cup, the space inside the single large cup is divided into two upper and lower spaces by partition walls, and the lower space is separated from the toilet cup. The upper space may be configured as a urine receiving cup.

The feces drainage route and the urine drainage route are separately configured within a predetermined length range from the feces receiving cup and the urine receiving cup, and the urine collector is provided for the separately configured urine route. It is preferable to configure so that it can be selectively connected, because it enables to inspect fresh urine.

When the stool is crushed, the stool is discharged by suction while the cleaning liquid is being supplied (the stool is crushed, the cleaning liquid is supplied and the stool is discharged at the same time). It is preferable for easy operation. Of course, after the stool crushing, the stool is discharged by suction while supplying the cleaning liquid, or after the stool crushing, the cleaning liquid is supplied and the stool is discharged after the start of the supply of the cleaning liquid. You can also Any two or more of the stool crushing devices disclosed in the embodiments can be used in combination.

In the holder shown in FIG. 2, the upper strings 8a and 8b as the left and right upper hanging members may be gathered together and connected to the string 8c as the lower hanging member.
Further, the cups 10 and 25 may be connected to the upper strings 8a and 8b without using the ring member 9.
In this case, each of the cups 10 and 25 may be connected to the upper strings 8a and 8b on the left and right sides thereof via elastic members such as short rubber bands. Although only one lower string 8c is shown in the embodiment, the number of the lower string 8c is substantially one because the lower string 8c is disposed between the left and right hips (butt splits). If so, for example, extend the upper strings 8a, 8b, and lower strings 8c
It can also be set to be used as (the two upper strings 8a, 8c are
Extends behind the wearer through the space between the left and right hips when assembled in a book).

When the toilet cup and the urine cup are constructed as separate bodies, the rotary joints corresponding to the rotary joint 21 may be provided in the toilet cup and the urine cup, respectively.

In FIG. 21, the portion of the two upper belts 122 located between the toilet cup 100 and the urine cup 113 is substantially the same as the cups 100 and 113.
And functions as a connecting tool for restricting the vertical separation of the two. Therefore, the portion corresponding to this connecting tool is configured separately from the upper belt 122, and the upper belt 12
2 may be connected only to the urine receiving cup 113 (the toilet receiving cup 100 is
The upper belt 122 and the urine receiving cup 113, which are formed separately from the upper belt 122, are used for connection. In addition, it is preferable that the connector has flexibility. The pin hole 124a may be formed on the urine receiving cup 113 side, and the locking pin 124b may be formed on the belt 122.

The objects of the present invention are not limited to those specified,
It is also implicitly included to provide what is expressed as a substantially preferred or advantageous.
